From St Nicholas
II any one were to walk one way through all the
streets OF London, he would be Obliged to 90 dis
lance OF $500 miles, or as far as it is across the
American continent from New York to San Fran
cisco. In our approach to this city, as well as in
our raInbleS through its streets, we shall not be
struck so much by its splendid and imposing ap-
pearance as by It's immensely. Go where we may,
there seems TO be no end OF the town. 1t is four
teen miles one way, and eight the other, and con-
tains population OF nearly four million people
which is greater, indeed than that Of Switzerland
or che Kingdoms OF Denmark and Greece combined
We are told On good authority that there are more
ScOtchmen In London than in Edinburgh more
Irishmen than in Dublin, and more Jews than in
Palestine, with foreigners from all parts or the
world, including great number of Americans
Yet there are so many Englishmen in London that
one is not likely to notice the presence of these
people OF other nations
This vast body OF citizens eat every year 400 600
oxen, 1,o0O 600 sheep, 100000 chickens and game
birds, not TO speak OF calves hogs and different
kinds OF fish. They consume SOC, 600 900 Oys ers
which, although it seems like a large number
would only gtve II equally divided among all the
people. one oyster every third day to each person
There are 800 600 servants in London, enough peO-
pie to make large city; but this gives only one
servant to each dozen citizens it Is quite evident
that a great many OF the people must wait on
themselves.

THE PR EsIDEnTs VISIT.

The public meeting at the Msr-
chants Exchange yesterday for the
purpose Of inviting the President to
visit Memphis was largely attended
and the expression OF sentiment fsv.
orable to the proportion was unani-
mously enthusiastic. A committee
Of one hundred representative citizens
was appointed to visit Washington
and wait upon the President
and deliver the invitation TO him In
person. This is the proper way to
proceed, and there Is little doubt Mr..
Cleveland will accept. Yesterday
he consented to visit Kansas
City. and from Kansas City
10 Memphis the journey Is con-
venient and full OF interest
To see the West Is not to see the
Southwest, and to see Atlanta is not
to zee Memphis. The stretch OF coun.
try which lies between Kansas City
aud Birmingham Ia q southeas.erly
direction 10 the region Of the south's
greatest material development.
Through that the President must pass
II he would see the place Of birth
Of the New South. II cannot
fail to sppeal to his curiosity and To
his patriotic impulses as well. Every
foot Of the way would be attractive
with Its evidences Of progress. OF this
region OF magnificent resources Mem.
phis Is the very heart, and we have no
doubt that the invitation TO visit this
coign Of vantage from which he

and gladly. That he and bis wife
would be received with cordially tina,
would be memorable TO them goes
without taying. To the city would
come thousands Of people from the
three States which Memphis surveys,
and all would join in doing
honor 10 the distinguished guests.
The sincerity Of the welcome will be
pressged by the appearance Of GO
Q delegation OF representative
Southern men In Washington to eI'
tend the invitation. They will 20 feel

spirit OF the Master, without whose
favor man cannot possibly hope to
prevail. We suggest that the cues.
ton involve in the amendment is OF
three fold nature-viz political,
social and religious. As q religious
question II Ia eminen'ly proper that it's
domain be occupied by the ministers
Of the gospel; as Q social question by
all pbilan,hrophisis as a political Ques-
tion by all patriots. We assert that
the principles involved In this pro-
posed amendment in no wise COL flict
with religious liberty, so dear to Bap-
lists, and with general personal liber-
ty. We suggest that 1t Is ha, dly prsc-
ticsble or possible for any one to be .
good temperance man and oppose this
amendment"
The report was received, but not
passed upon. Mr.. Stacy Lord, OF
Brownsville, and the Rev. Mr.. Ven
able, Of this city, made very power
ful arguments in favor Of prohibition.
Alter they had concluded, Mr.. w.
X. Bryan moved that the convention
adjourn until 8 o'clock. There was
no objection and the motion prevailed.
The convention reaosembled at 8
O'Clock and the discussion OF the pro-
hibitlon question was again taken mp,
